5:41PM GMT 29 Jan 2014

Africa Travel's 12-night South Africa For all the Family tour begins at Kruger Private Reserves, a truly remarkable destination that offers excellent game viewing opportunities. Spend three nights at the exclusive Serondella Lodge, which consists of four luxuriously appointed suites set on the banks of the Monwana tributary.

Next, fly to Cape Town and stay at the Cape Royale Luxury Hotel and Spa for four nights. From there you can explore some of the delights of the Western Cape before returning to the hotel's designer-furnished suites each evening.

Hit the road and explore the Whale Coast, a rugged stretch of coastline which snakes along the Atlantic Ocean. The spectacular scenery is made up of charming seaside villages, majestic mountain ranges, farms, valleys, coves and – at the right time of year – it is possible to see whales cruising and wallowing offshore.

The next point of call is Grootbos Garden Lodge, where you'll stay for two nights. The five-star eco-paradise is surrounded by exotic flora and marine life, making for a truly unique South African experience.

Finally, follow the world-famous Garden Route to Hog Hollow Country Lodge, where you'll enjoy two nights of luxury with breathtaking views of the surrounding valleys and Tsitsikamma Mountains.
